So is mine, as long as there is snow and salt on the roads my car stays put.
I'm surprised you went with the gray cover and not the red one. I have the rally yellow but I got the red cover. I wish GM made an outdoor cover in yellow.

Yep, she's asleep for the winter. I'll wake her up when all the salt is finally off the roads. Hopefully sometime in March.

Are you northern guys seeing the same thing, very few Camaro's on the winter roads. I wonder what the percentage of northern Camaro owners store their cars in the winter? I put mine in storage in November and don't get it out until April or May depending on the weather.

I'm in northeast Ohio and had mine brought home on a flatbed with only 18 miles on it.
The wife saw a white one at a car wash the other day, but I have seen none all winter.
Come on Spring!!!

I've driven Vettes and the Camaro straight through every winter in recent history except for this one . We've got 2 feet on the ground , snow stacked everywhere , 20 inches more on the way and did I mention below zero wind chills for the next couple of days . ( RI )
I'm obviously not a car collector in this instance and when the side roads melt off a little I'm back in the Camaro , sand , salt and all .
Remember , you guys storing and hoarding these cars are actually denying some kid whose not even born yet the opportunity to restore your rusted out hulk 30 in years . Now how do you feel !
Let the next guy baby it .

I see a Camaro on the cold road every day. But it's mine. Lol.

A couple weeks ago I did see a red '07 Ferrari on the road. Now that's nuts!

OHIOSS · 01-23-2011, 09:54 PM

Wow, that is very surprising how many of us Camaro owners store our cars for the winter. I would have thought the vast majority of Camaro owners would be driving their car as their primary car.

What do you think the percentage mix in the north of stored Camaro's -vs- driving them all winter? I thought it would be like 10% stored -vs- 90% driven all winter.

From the responses it sounds like it could be at least 50/50.

Mine has been in storage since Oct 31st, and to be honest i haven't seen a single one on the Maine roads since then. Saw a yellow boss mustang last week struggling in that snow storm that hit the NorthEast. Studded tires or not, that dude should have just called in. My 95' Toyota t100 w/ 220,000 miles loves the snow

I cant imagine I'll see another Camaro on the road any time soon, i think i saw a whole 4 or 5 of them all summer last year, apparently not that popular in my area.

I drive mine on nice days, which are few and far between, otherwise its my 92 Buick Roadmonster wagon.
